In fairness, 5 million could have Thistle challenging Celtic.
Just because they use the name "rangers" doesn't mean they have the divine right to fantasy.
It really, really wouldn't
A few exceptions aside, us diddy clubs (which now very much includes Rangers) spending big bucks on transfers has practically always been a total failure. Apart from the likes of Stokes, who by all accounts was bought on the implicit understandng of us flipping him in one year, all the examples coming to mind have been disastrous. Beslija, Alan O'Brian, etc. The only way to buy success so to speak, is to pay good players ridiculous wages to play in Scotland, which would cost a shit lot more than £5m.As a bit of fun, why doesn't somebody who thinks their club could compete with Celtic by spending £5 give us fantasy football style run down of how they'd like to see it spent? And if you're a Rangers fan, don't say "well I'd expect the club to know more than me" because the club's scouting system clearly involves reading The Daily Record every day, so your shortlist is as good as anyone's.

Putting the absolute delusion of a £5m war chest aside for one second. Sevco couldn't even spend big bucks on transfers properly if they had that cash.
Nobody who's genuinely worth any kind of transfer fee would want to go there. The only to spend millions on players would be to offer ridiculously over the top amounts for players that aren't good enough to go to the likes of Brentford.
Which I believe has already been tried at Ibrox recently. A new WARCHEST! would have to go on Templetons, not Cuellars.

Self sustainability is the long term goal. Initial investment is required right now. Maybe, to quote Dave King, "north of £20m".
In my opinion, the coach, whoever that may be, will need around £5m of that money in the summer to spend on incoming transfer fee's.

Apart from the prospect of a big SNP win in Scotland, the thing I'm most looking forward to in May is the certainty of UKIP completely flopping.
All their deluded wee ned supporters will be absolutely gutted.

I've met Roy Walker and the boy that played Toadfish in Neighbours because of celebrity club nights.

The take home of this thread for me is the expression "getting off at Haymarket". Never heard that before, lovely stuff.
Oh and that this sounds utterly horrifying and I'd sooner rely on dishing out emergency falcon punches than ever even think about getting it done.

That's bending the truth a bit, I was sick so I used the puddle to clean my mouth out.

Does anyone out there who supports Scottish Independence give two shits about completely hypothetical English regional independence scenarios?
Serious question.

You ken when the bickering about people being lied to starts getting brought out that the club is but a floating jobby in a world of fans.

WH Ireland? What's with the names throughout this whole saga?
Fully expect Fergal Mc*****y-Salmond to be the next appointee.

I know f**k all about the other things mentioned but Bush and Cheney being questioned in private isn't really that surprising, imo. Presumably the questioning focused on what was known beforehand and how that information was gathered. Not exactly going to want to publish that.

The only figures I can find on page 1 of a Google search are from a few years ago but it had Celtic's wage budget as £33m a year and the non-OF clubs (apart from Hearts, who tried throwing millions at competing for the league and got nowhere near) on about £2-6m.
Even in this hypothetical scenario, the club with £5m to splooge would need to find a bunch of title winning level players that were prepared to sign one year deals, or the actual cost would be far, far more.
I'm not sure if I'm being whooshed here tbh
£5m to compete for the league, absolute bollocks
